Leyton immediately paused in the middle of his rant after hearing from Sandy that Jared had summoned him. I need toplay dumb in front of Jared now and trick him into lowering his guard. When I have more resources and power in the future, I'll repay his humiliation twofold!
After confirming the address with Sandy, Leyton set off for Meadow Restaurant immediately.
Sandy returned to her seat and informed Jared quietly, “He'll be here soon.”
Jared appeared indifferent to her words, and Leroy smirked. The latter jeered, “Go on with your act, then. When Mr. Scott's here, you'll be drowning in your own tears!”
Jared sneered at Leroy and retorted, “We'll see about that, though you'll definitely be crying later!”
“What did you say? I'll cry? I'll make you cry right now!” Leroy barked before picking up a wine bottle.
Alarmed, Sandy screamed, “Leroy, are you mad? Put that wine bottle down right now!” “Sandy, why are you so scared of Jared? He may have picked up some moves during his time behind bars, but this is Mr. Lewis' turf. He won't dare to lift a finger here!” Leroy then approached Jared menacingly and taunted, “Think you're so great, huh, Jared? Since you broke Warrick's leg, let's see if you dare to touch me!”
Slap!
Leroy had barely finished his sentence when Jared slapped him across the face.
The force sent two of his teeth flying out of his mouth, and his cheek instantly swelled.
Jared teased, “I've never had someone offer themselves up for a slap. Was it comfortable? Would you like to have another go?”
Leroy saw stars, probably concussed from how hard Jared had struck him.
Pamela rushed forward to support Leroy and asked, “Oh my god, Leroy. Are you okay?”
“Jared, how could you hit him? We're in hot soup now!” Virgil uttered anxiously, panic written all over his face.
Their classmates were in equal disbelief, and they began reprimanding Jared with gusto.
“What the heck, Jared? How could you slap Leroy?”
